2023 Australian Open R128: [13] Matteo Berrettini vs Andy Murray

[ForehandCross]

Hold the damn Serve plzzzz

 

[optic yellow]

Wow that was a legit BH DTL by Berrettini, why is that not the norm?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

8-5. 2 serves is all Murray needs. Come on king

 

[ForehandCross]

Hold your Serve Andeh

 

[Aussie Darcy]

**** sake Murray that was ABYSMAL

 

[Rudiiii]

This was great match to watch, sad Beretini can't finish robot hip Murray. And what a miss from Andy

 

[ultimathule]

Still a match

 

[Mustard]

10 point tiebreak is so stupid

I like it more than a first to 7 tiebreak for the fifth set. It's the final set tiebreak, so extra special. I preferred the pre-2019 rule though of a traditional fifth set.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

3 match points. CMON!!!

 

[ForehandCross]

CMONNNNN

 

[Aussie Darcy]

MURRAY DOES IT!

He saves a match point and knocks out #13 Berrettini in a 5 set epic!!!!

 

[time_fly]

Dude literally cannot hit the ball hard enough to put away a shot even standing right at the net. But he makes it work for him on match point when his forehand can literally barely make it past the net.

 

[DSH]

Judy is saying: Where is 'Deliciano'?

 

[Terenigma]

Match point... Cmon Murray!!!

 

[Rudiiii]

What a way to finish

 

[Palindrome]

Congrats Murray! What a match.

 

[ForehandCross]

YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[ultimathule]

Of all the...

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh my god what a way to win it

 

[El_Yotamo]

Holy ****, I was giving a lecture and we just went to break and I saw Andy won. Well done Muzziah! Wow I know this is probably false hope but I'd love for him to go really deep

 

[DSH]

Remember that Djokovic had Berrettini as a rival in a Grand Slam final.

 

[Terenigma]

Incredible! I'm blown away that Murray has managed to win this, They've had a few tight matches before but this one took me by surprise, I didn't think Andy had it in him after losing the 4th but what a great win for him!

 

[weakera]

Berrettini laughing with Murray at the net afterwards. Disgust.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Last years SFist Berrettini is out but thank you Murray, what a match!

 

[Hitman]

Wow

 

[ultimathule]

Time for an ice bath

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Berrettini had the easy winner on his match point let’s not forget. But nope, Murray prevails. Epic.

 

[weakera]

Berrettini will fall out of the top-20

 

[Mustard]

Do they have super tiebreaker here or normal TB in the fifth??

Champions tiebreak in the fifth set (third set for women) at all 4 majors now since 12 months ago. First to 10 points with at least 2 points clear.

 

[Pavla]

Ah, that was so worth staying up for.

 

[ForehandCross]

Andy

 

[optic yellow]

Classy Andy not exploding in celebration off the net cord match winner

 

[Deleted member 791948]

Berrettini really confirmed he's a beta male just then.

Truer words have never been spoken

 

[ForehandCross]

So freaking beautiful.

Just don't crash out to a random mug plzzz

 

[DSH]

Murray is lucky that his next opponent will be 'Kokk' or 'Fog'.

 

[gjm127]

Well done Sir Andy! I'm glad he made it through. He deserves it. Can't believe he came back from match point down.

It's pretty cool. AO is really the fairytale GS.

 

[weakera]

More than 4 years ago lol

 

[gjm127]

The only issue is he's heavily limping after the interview. Adrenaline is dropping and he can feel his body breaking down now I guess lol

 

[ForehandCross]

In a world and where God exists, Andy will win this AO and ride off to the sunset with Kim and Judy.

 

[Mustard]

It's still worth it late in your career to have a win like that.

 

[ForehandCross]

That's Andy's normal body language.

 

[DSH]

That's Andy's normal body language.

Let's go!

Recovery will be key, even vs equally aged Fognini (9 days younger). Hopefully, all the sweat testing has paid off and he now has the best customized electrolyte solution. One factor to his advantage: it will be substantially cooler when he plays 2R. He is scheduled for Thursday and the high will be mid-60s F (18 C).

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Fair play to the lad. Was expecting to get up and see the win for Berrettini.

Oh wow it's supposed to really cool down.

 

[HFK]

Nicely done, Andy.

 

[MurraysMetalHip]

THAT’S why he continues to play. Murygoat rulez.

 

[jl809]

Never in doubt
